As veterans began to gather before the start of a Veterans Day ceremony next to the Korean War Memorial, Mary Pietsch took a moment to walk up to each of them, shaking their hand and thanking them for their service to the United States.

Pietsch was among a small group of people who showed up Saturday morning to take part in ceremonies conducted jointly by the Plover American Legion Post No. 543 and the Plover Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 10262, at both the Korean Memorial and the Plover Veterans Memorial. Both events featured a color guard, the sounding of taps and a rifle salute.
